【分析】多重复合句。主句主干是 He helped popularize the idea。that...infections 为 idea 的同位语从句，其中 not previously...cause 作 diseases 的后置定语；which 引导的非限定性定语从句修饰 the idea；when 引导时间状语从句，其中代词 it 也指代 the idea。

【译文】他曾经使一种观点广为人知，即某些以前被认为不是由细菌导致的疾病实际上也是传染病，这一观点在首次提出时就引起了很多争议。

【点拨】1) arouse (not little/much/a lot of)controversy 意为“引起（不少）争议”。 2) suggest 意为“提出”。
